Using a "railgun launcher" or a long-travel solenoid

Has anyone thought about this? Knowing FIRST, there is probably a rule that prevents you from drawing large amounts of current from the battery to build a sort of "electronic pneumatic launcher" but I haven't seen much about it at all.

Pneumatics seems to be the best option to get a quick, powerful pushing force, but I always like to talk about alternatives.


And also because saying you have a railgun on your robot would be pretty awesome.
